I think the 2 you posted for edgy were sort of on the mark, although I didn't really care for them. I take it nearly everything they do is in 4 time, I hate to say it but I find them plodders, but I'm glad you like them. Music's a wonderful thing, and tastes never overlap completely

Celebrate is another 4 time plod isn't it? Thanks for all your answers Dayna, I'll retire on this one now, unconverted. But you've been instrumental in me buying, tonight, a 2nd hand copy of The Best of Jonathan Richman: When I Was King for the princely sum of £ 2:26 incl postage (just over 3 US dollars). All the best to you

I've learned a lot of things about music from you guys on here, but I strongly disagree about Simple Minds. This music is so pefrect in the way it's put together. they've got unique rythyms, great synths, and beautiful guitar playing, along with amazing drumming, and singing. Their live music is better than the music on records. Jim Kerr is a genius writer. He paints pictures of places he's been to, with lyrics, and music. He and Charlie have known each other since they were 8 years old, in Glasgow and still writing music together. They're all extremely nice people. He's been doing it successfully for 35 years, and the band just came back from a US tour, where they all sold out, and had great reveiws. Charlie Burchill is a gifted guitarist. He doesn't show off, at all but is brilliant. Ged Grimes; he's really fun to watch playing bass, and you can always hear it. Andy Gillespie, does keyboards beautifully. Mel Gaynor is called the best drummer in the world now, and they have a beautiful singer named Sarah Brown. They've done so many unique things with their music all these years, some times it's hard to beleive it's from the same band.

I love Changling. This one is from their album Reel to Real, and I love the way it sounds. Charlie's guitar reminds me a little of what I've heard of Frank Zappa.

I would vote Charlie Burchill one of the best guitarists out there. I've heard him play practically every style there is, very well. There's some songs he plays slide guitar as good or better than Eric Clapton. Then other times it sounds a little like U2. It's different for whatever type of music they play, which is a bit of everything. And it isn't all stadium music. Plus he's a very humble, sweet guy. Not a show off at all.
